Chamber Chatter
By C laudia Hughes, Exec. Dir.
The Heppner Chamber of Commerce wishes one and
all a very Merry Christmas! Our wish is that you might enjoy
the next 11 days of the Christmas season, remembering that
the true spirit of Christmas is not just a fleeting feeling, or ripping
into gifts, or spending money, but the everlasting goodness of
a kind and giving heart.
If your cards, note writing, baking and gift preparation
didn't get finished, just continue giving of yourselves to others
at a slower pace during the days that follow. Share Christmases
past; read a book to a child; read to an adult. Watch some of
the old Christmas movies with family and friends. Listen to
music and sing along. A kind touch, a smile, a helping hand, a
positive attitude, a new idea, the ability to listen, living in the
moment, volunteering, are all wonderful gifts to share. In so
doing, we receive the greatest gift of all.
Did you know that enemy soldiers who met under the
mistletoe plant during Roman times laid down their weapons,
ceased fighting, and embraced one another? May our soldiers
in Iraq find the equivalent o f mistletoe as they fight for our
peace and safety. And may each of you have a bit of mistletoe
in your hearth and homes.
Kudos to this great community for keeping Christmas
in your hearts year round and for sharing your many gifts as
you go about your day-to-day business. May your star shine
bright on Christmas night and throughout the year to come.
Thought for the week: “The only real blind person at
Christmas time is he who has not Christmas in his heart.”
